5From Thomas Jefferson to Henry Dearborn, 31 October 1822 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of Aug. 31. dated so soon after your departure gave me hopes that the sufferings at sea of mrs Dearborne and yourself, if any, had been short. I hope you will both find Lisbon a pleasant residence. I have heard so much of it’s climate that I suppose that alone will go far towards making it so; and should the want of the language of the country lessen the enjoyment of it’s society,...

9Thomas Jefferson to Henry Dearborn, 26 March 1820 (Jefferson Papers)
The negociation with mr Stuart has given you much more trouble than I had expected, and more than it should have given had I expected it. however we may now hope to close it by accepting one of the alternatives he proposes. I shall be perfectly content to recieve the original he drew in Philadelphia in 1805 , which was of the common size (what the painters call, I believe, a bust) . it will...
